Bourbon Limestone and the Paris rail yard
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Bourbon Limestone Company, a crushed-stone quarry, about 1 mile west of Paris. A dump truck or tri-axle that runs out of that pit is often parked right at the quarry or at the owner’s place nearby, so give us the yard address and the name of whoever holds the gate key.
Montgomery Stone, a second crushed-stone quarry on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s rolls, sits about 13.7 miles south-east of town. If your stone truck splits its days between the two pits, tell us which one it is closer to when you contact us, and have the title and registration in hand for the collection.
About 0.7 miles east of downtown, the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows the PARIS rail yard. Trucks that shuttle loads to and from that siding stay close to Paris, which keeps the pickup short; a few clear photos of the cab, frame and tires let us see the truck before we come.
Hay, grain and horse country
Bourbon County had 846 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, with equine, cattle and corn at the top of its list. Flatbeds stacked with hay bales, grain trucks at corn harvest and livestock haulers all come out of that farm work, and a truck kept in a barn lot off a county road is one we collect where it sits.
Of the motor carriers based in Paris, FMCSA’s carrier census counts 40 hauling farm supplies and 37 hauling grain, feed and hay. If your truck belongs to a farm rather than a trucking business, bring the title that is in the farm’s name and the name of the person who can sign for it.
Paris has 183 active carriers on FMCSA’s carrier census; 157 of them run intrastate only, 26 cross state lines, and 136 are private fleets hauling their own goods. A private-fleet truck is usually registered to the business it serves, so the company officer who signs the title should be part of the sale from the start.
General freight leads the cargo list at 58 carriers, according to FMCSA’s carrier census, with machinery and large objects next at 45. Lowboys, rollbacks and tractors that move equipment are all trucks we buy; list the trailer type and the hitch when you write to us.
The three biggest Paris-based fleets in that census run 128, 115 and 60 power units, and FMCSA recorded 3 new carriers registering here in 2025 and 2 in 2024. Whether you are selling one truck from a new authority or several from a larger yard, send us the VIN of each one and where each is parked.
Drivers here split between short and long hauls: carriers on FMCSA’s census report 347 drivers working within 100 miles and 459 working beyond it. For the 37 carriers that reported annual mileage to FMCSA, the median came to 10,000 miles per truck.
Over 155 trucks inspected at the roadside between August 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspection records put the median model year at 2021, and 21.29% of those trucks were ten or more years old. Whatever the year of yours, keep the service records you have together with the title for the day we arrive.
Georgetown, the Toyota ramp and Lexington terminals
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the Georgetown, KY rail intermodal ramp about 15.8 miles west of Paris, and the North American Rail Network shows the TOYOTA AUTORAMP rail yard at 15.3 miles in the same direction. A tractor that pulls containers or parts loads out that way can be collected in Georgetown just as easily as in Bourbon County.
To the south-west, RJ Corman runs a liquid bulk terminal 16.4 miles out on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ list, and the Energy Information Administration places the LEXINGTON petroleum product terminal at 17.4 miles. If your tanker or fuel truck is parked at one of those terminals, tell us whose lot it is on so the pickup can be arranged with them.
Plants, warehouses and job sites
Box trucks, straight trucks and day cabs that serve plants and distributors are part of what we buy, and a truck that sits at a loading dock can stay there until we collect it.
Dump trucks, mixers and service bodies from those contractors are welcome; if the truck is on a job site rather than at the shop, give us the site address and a contact who will be there.
